Soft cover. Zustand: Near Fine. 1st Edition. A very close to new copy. This comprehensive work on the Darling River examines the attitudes and issues of the region, from a social and land use perspective. It contains scientific and technical information that is necessary for the management of the river and its catchments. Chapters on natural systems illustrate the changes in species and habitat and identify what is necessary for their survival. Other chapters on sustainable land use examine environmental flows, responses to land use and the conservation of terrestrial environments. The final chapter looks at the future of the Darling River and its catchments and provides a six-point plan for its management. It considers the need to limit the exploitation of natural resources by limiting river diversions and controlling vegetative clearing. It also looks at new development opportunities that will occur through innovation, new enterprises and higher value uses of resources and attention to alternative land uses. The information in this book will underpin policy development and many on-ground management actions to be conducted within the Murray-Darling Basin.
